abstract="OBJECTIVE To explore the correlation between mental health and social support of the seven countries peacekeeping soldiers,and provide theoretical guidance for the peacekeeping soldiers to improve the mental health status.<br><br>METHODS Through random cluster sampling,1143 peacekeeping soldiers were investigated with Chinese Military Mental Health Scale (CMMHS) and Social Support Scale (SSS).<br><br>RESULTS The total score of CMMHS and depression factor((61.06 ± 3.99),(10.11 ± 1.67)) of the suicidal ideation peacekeeping soldiers were significantly higher than the no-suicidal ideation peacekeeping soldiers ((59.97 ± 3.73),(8.97 ± 1.81))(P ＜ 0.05),CMMHS total score and each factors of the seven countries peacekeeping soldiers were significantly higher than the Chinese soldiers norms (P ＜ 0.05),and the total scores ((28.50 ± 1.69)) of the social support of the suicide idea peacekeeping soldiers was lower than the no-suicidal ideation peacekeeping soldiers ((28.92 ±1.78)) (P＜0.05).The obsessive-compulsive factor,anxiety factor,depression factor,phobic anxiety factor,somatization factor,neurastheria factor and interpersonal sensitivity factor of CMMHS were the risk factors arise the mental diseases of the peacekeeping soldiers,especially the depression factor(OR =27.00,x2 =439.46,P ＜ 0.05).The CMMHS total score and each factors had obvious negative correlation with social support scores(r =-0.199 ～0.434,P ＜ 0.05).Analysis of multiple stepwise back displayed that the age,gender,education and social support were main factors of influencing mental health of the seven-country peacekeeping soldiers (age:t =2.428,educational level:t =-3.310,social support:t =1.990,P =0.047 ～ 0.01).<br><br>CONCLUSION The suicidal ideation has close relationship with peacekeeping soldiers' psychological disease,and the mental health of the peacekeeping soldiers is influenced by the age,gender,education level,and especially by social support.<p /><p>Language: zh</p>",
